Neil Young - Living With War - Letras Parte 1

1) After The Garden
Won't need no shadow man Runnin' the government Won't need no stinkin' WAR Won't need no haircut Won't need no shoe shine After the garden is gone After the garden is gone After the garden is gone What will people do? After the garden is gone What will people say? After the garden Won't need no strong man Walkin' through the night To live a weak man's day Wont need no sunshine Wont need no purple haze After the garden is gone After the garden is gone After the garden is gone Where will people go? After the garden is gone What will people know? After the garden After the garden is gone After the garden is gone

2) Living With War
I'm living with war everyday I'm living with war in my heart everyday I'm living with war right now And when the dawn breaks I see my fellow man And on the flat-screen we kill and we're killed again And when the night falls, I pray for peace Try to remember peace (visualize) I join the multitudes I raise my hand in peace I never bow to the laws of the thought police I take a holy vow To never kill again To never kill again I'm living with war in my heart I'm living with war in my heart and my mind I'm living with war right now Don't take no tidal wave Don't take no mass grave Don't take no smokin' gun To show how the west was won But when the curtain falls, I pray for peace Try to remember peace (visualize) In the crowded streets In the big hotels In the mosques and the doors of the old museum I take a holy vow To never kill again Try to remember peace The rocket's red glare Bombs bursting in air Give proof through the night, That Our flag is still there I'm living with war everyday I'm living with war in my heart everyday I'm living with war right now.

3) The Restless Consumer
The people have heard the news The people have spoken You may not like what they said But they weren't jokin' Way out on the desert sands Lies a desperate lover They call her "Queen of Oil" So much to discover Don't need no ad machine Telling me what I need Don't need no Madison Avenue War Don't need no more boxes I can't see Covered in flags but I can't see them on TV Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies The rest less consumer flies Around the world each day With such an appetite for taste And grace People from around the world Need someone to listen We're starving and dying from our disease we need your medicine How do you pay for war And leave us dyin'? When you could do so much more You're not even tryin' Don't need to TV ad Tellin' me how sick I am Don't want to know how many people are like me Don't need no dizziness Don't need no nausea Don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual death Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies The restless consumer lies Asleep in her hotel With such an appetite For anything that sells A hundred voices from a hundred lands Need someone to listen People are dying here and there They don't see the world the way you do There's no mission accomplished here Just death to thousands A hundred voices from a hundred lands cry out in unison Don't need no terror squad Don't want to damned Jihad Blowin' themselves away in my hood But we don't talk to them So we don't lean from them Hate don't negotiate with Good Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies The restless consumer flies Around the world each day With such an appetite for efficiency And pace don't need no more lies

4) Shock And Awe
Back in the days of shock and awe We came to liberate them all History was the cruel judge of overconfidence Back in the days of shock and awe Back in the days of "mission accomplished" Our chief was landing on the deck The sun was setting on a golden photo op Back in the days of "mission accomplished" Thousands of bodies in the ground Brought home in a boxes to a trumpet's sound No one sees them coming home that way Thousands buried in the ground Thousands of children scarred for life Millions of tears for a soldier's wife Both sides losing now Heaven takes them in Thousands of children scarred for life We had a chance to change our mind But somehow wisdom was hard to find We went with what we knew an now we can't go back But we had a chance to change our mind.
